What does iron make?

Answer 1

Iron, Fe, is mined from the ground it is extremely reactive with oxygen and can burn at high temperatures.

Humans rely on iron or its alloys, steel and stainless steel, to make durable strong objects. Examples - bridges, car bodies, metal furniture, building supporting beams, engines, weapons. The list would be very long.

The iron is protected from oxygen by paint, grease, plastic coating, metal coating or zinc coating.

Answer 2

Iron and Sulphur react to form the compound Iron sulphide.
If iron is mixed with sulphur, the resulting mixture has the properties of both iron and sulphur. The mixture is grey like iron but has yellow specks of sulphur in it. If the mixture is sprinkled into water, the iron filings will sink and the yellow sulphur will float. If the mixture is heated, a glow is seen to spread through the mixture due to the heat generated by the chemical reaction which takes place. A reaction which produces like this is called an exothermic reaction. During this reaction the iron and sulphur combine together to form a compound called iron sulphide (FeS). This compound is quite unlike the iron or the sulphur it is made from. For example, the iron sulphide is not affected by a magnet whereas iron on its' own is. Also, if powdered iron sulphide is sprinkled into water it would all sink unlike plain sulphur. The powder is almost black, with no signs of yellow sulphur. It doesn't conduct electricity. The iron sulphide like all compounds is a single pure substance.

Answer 3

Cast iron has particles of carbon within it's matrix making it brittle. Steel is an alloy of carbon and iron and us much tougher. It is formed at a higher temperature by blowing air through molten cast iron in a Bessemer converter.

Answer 4

it forms a metal compound called tin oxide

Answer 5

Carbon is a good reducing agent it reduces the oxide into pure metal, Fe2O3 + 3C = 2Fe + 3CO

Answer 6

when iron reacts with oxygen there is formation of iron oxide which is commonly known as rust the brown powder on iron surface. 2Fe + 3O2 => 2Fe2O3

Answer 7

From what i have learnt it is Iron Oxide

Answer 8

Metal oxides.

Answer 9

iron oxide

Answer 10

iron oxidie
